Empowerly

Empowerly is dedicated to helping students navigate the often complex and overwhelming journey of college admissions and career planning. Many students and their families find the application process daunting, with the average student spending 60 to 200 hours on applications. Furthermore, academic pressure is a significant source of anxiety for teenagers, and over half of parents report that college and career planning negatively impacts their children's mental health. For the 40% of college applicants who are first-generation students, the lack of inherent guidance can make this process even more challenging. Empowerly was founded to address these critical needs, providing personalized support to empower students to become the best versions of themselves and achieve their academic and professional aspirations.

Our customers, students and their families, face the challenge of an increasingly competitive admissions landscape and the stress associated with it. That's why Empowerly offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to alleviate this burden and improve outcomes. We provide personalized, one-on-one college counseling, matching students with experienced counselors, including former admissions officers from top universities. Our data-driven approach, including the Empowerly Score®, helps students understand their strengths and areas for improvement. Beyond college applications, we offer essay editing, financial planning guidance, internship preparation and matching, research mentorship programs, and support for neurodiverse students. We also partner with schools, businesses, and community organizations to make our resources more accessible, offering workshops, webinars, and tailored materials. By providing these tools and expert guidance, Empowerly aims to reduce stress, save families valuable time (an average of 4 hours per week for working parents), and support the overall well-being of students as they pursue their educational and career goals.
